Wasn't the British Boys ATR of 20mm also?  I seem to remember
rumors of it being for sale just after or just before WWII
along with the Thompson SMG.  Any other better memories than
mine?

GAH!


[mod.note: The Boys was .55in, or 14mm.  The German ATR's
(panzerbu:schen) were in 7.92mm, and the Russians were fond of
14.5mm.  The Polish Maroszcek was also in 7.92mm. - Bill ]
